from across the fire pit. There were numerous whoops and hollers at the scene that was taking place. Kelly turned so that while her tongue was unceremoniously rammed down my best friends’ throat making his wildest dreams come true, she was staring right me. What a bitch, I thought to myself. She wasn’t jealous of him talking to another girl! She was trying to make me jealous by making out with my best friend. The levels of low had just gotten lower. I really didn’t have much respect for the girl before this and now, I had lost any hope of ever having respect for her ever. This was bad. This was real bad. That bitch was going to break my best friends’ heart and not even bat one single fake eyelash while she did it. I had had enough of her and her crap.
       This was my senior year, and tonight I was going to make it publicly known that I have never nor will I ever have anything to do with that hot mess Kelly VonHolten.
       I started to make my way over to the two when something else had caught my attention. People had begun whispering. I naturally assumed it was about the horrid spectacle that was currently on display, but I could not have been more wrong. I turned in the direction of where a few people had been pointing and there standing in the beautiful glow of the firelight and the full light of the moon stood my mystery girl.
       I stopped dead in my tracks. My heart stopped and then skipped a few beats before it began to feel as though I had just sprinted a marathon. Her beauty was like nothing I had ever seen before. She was roughly five feet five inches tall. Slender but well defined in all the right places without being overly defined. That long dark cascading hair was longer than I first had thought. It reached just below the middle of her back and flowed freely over her shoulders in a natural wave. Her skin was almost as white as the purest snow that falls on the highest mountains. She had a faint pink glow to her cheeks, and those perfect pale pink lips so full made me think of only one thing. I longed for one sweet kiss from those pale rose colored lips. I felt that if I could accomplish just that one thing, I would die the happiest person on earth.
       She caught me staring at her again. I turned away quickly not wanting to seem like some weird pervert checking her out like the rest of the crowd had been, and damned if I didn’t run right into Pete and Kelly who had continued their make session even as the entire party had stopped to watch the new girl make her entrance.
       Kelly quickly broke away from Pete’s embrace and rushed into my arms. She had been a little over enthusiastic and knocked me and her over and we began to fall. “I knew it would work!” she squealed.  We landed roughly in the rocks. The music had started back up and I made the attempt to remove Kelly from me. I looked up to see Pete’s face. The hatred, disgust and broken heart was etched in his dimly lit features. Before I could get to my feet Pete had stormed off.
       “Shit.” This was not how I had planned this night to play out; not only did Kelly manage to break my best friends’ heart, but she may have ruined our friendship as well. Not only that but she just ruined my chances with my mystery girl who had witnessed the whole scene. Things could not possibly get any worse. Well I was wrong. Very, very wrong.

        I managed to get free from octopus Kelly and stood up. Kelly quickly stood up next to me and grabbed my hand. Kelly stood proudly next to me holding my hand acting as if we had just had some sort of revelation that we were supposed to be together as one.
       I yanked my hand free and turned to her. “Get this through that thick skull of yours Kelly. I have no interest in dating you! Not now, not ever. Did everyone here hear me? I do not like, or love Kelly VonHolten. I never have and I never will.” The music had abruptly
